Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

Alpha looked at this haggard man. The surprise he gave him was really beyond imagination. Although he lost his memory, he still followed his instincts and completed the task by himself. Even a professional combat staff team may not be able to do it well. things.

"I asked to follow after I saw elite operators and engineering operators transporting equipment away from the ship." When Huang Da Miao drove the doctor from the ship to the headquarters, the doctor was He said, "I don't know how many things I have forgotten, but there are indeed traces of my work on that ship, and evidence of fighting with you. I want to know why you are fighting, and why you have been I will also devote myself to this cause and want to know why PRTs said hello to me, and the command and control interface looks so familiar. I feel that I can do it, and I hope to get to know you by fighting side by side."

"So the doctor convinced us to bring him here..." Standing in front of Kelsey, Amiya poked her fingers with some anxiety.Looking at her appearance, Kelsey felt a lot of unhappiness when seeing the doctor back in danger, and she was unable to express her final criticism and education.

Alpha leaned close to the doctor, took out a can of ice-cold energy drink, patted his face, and handed it to him, "You did it even more perfectly than I imagined. Everyone here has a new concept. We were at a loss in battle, so I was preparing to take over the command myself, but I didn’t expect you to come and do such a good job.”

"Information, a word that seems very old and very... very basic floats in my mind. I can't remember what it is. There is a feeling that tells me that this is the situation described by this word, and then I instinctively Being able to control this situation seems to be a matter of course..." The doctor glanced at Alpha who was leaning next to him. She changed back to her red-haired form. Even though her beautiful red hair was covered with gunpowder smoke and dust, she still looked beautiful. It was so dazzling, the hair brushed against his cheek, and the faint fragrance could still be vaguely recognized.

Alpha has such a good figure... He sighed in his mind, adjusted his nervousness that had not yet calmed down, and pointed to the holographic sand table in front of him, "Everyone says that I am a good commander, but this system you provided is This is the fundamental reason why this battle can proceed so smoothly..."

"No, you and this system are indispensable in this battle, believe me." Alpha turned around with a smile, leaned down, and tapped the doctor's nose, "Find someone who can understand what I am saying without my explanation." It’s really rare to find people who do what they do.”

The doctor raised his hands in surrender, "Alfa, there is no need for you to praise me like this. I still can't remember anything except some random words and fragments."

"I'm telling the truth. This is the affirmation from the chief of Faos Military Academy."

"What's that place?"

What the doctor was left with was a series of free and easy laughter from Alpha, and a figure leaving with his hands behind his back, and another sentence, "Go and have a good sleep first, and I'll invite you to a Rhode Island bar for a drink tomorrow night. I'm curious about something." I can tell you slowly."

……

Tallulah was preparing to transfer the troops and control the affairs in the core city area. At this time, heavy footsteps came from the door of the temporary headquarters, awakening the doctor who was in a daze. He turned around and saw that it was a doctor from this exhibition hall. The tall warrior even had to lower his head when he walked in through the front door. He was as burly as a double-door refrigerator.

"Doctor of Rhodes Island, I am Bodro Kasti, the former captain of Ursus. Others call me patriot. You can call me old guy if you want." The burly warrior put his weapon at the door, took off his helmet and left. He came in and said, "I have heard of another name for you. People once called you the evil spirit of the Tower of Babel, but this name is not nice at all, is it?"

The doctor looked at the soldier in front of him. The call sign "Patriot" was displayed on the holographic sand table. He was an elite unit that was extremely capable of breaking through the defense line. The real person represented behind the arrow was different from the image of the extremely brave and powerful warrior in his imagination. Conspiring together.

The doctor smiled and nodded in response to his greeting. The evil spirit of the Tower of Babel, this kind of name is a bad name no matter how you hear it, "It really doesn't sound good."

"I heard Kelsi say that you have experienced a lot of things and lost your memory..." The tall warrior was silent for a moment, "Don't think about the complicated past now, doctor. Your exquisite command has brought great success to us. A team of infected people won a hearty victory, completely shattered a conspiracy, and saved countless lives. As a soldier and an officer, I admire you, and at the same time, I am glad that at this time I’m lucky enough to be on your side at this moment.”

"Thank you for your praise. I just did what I could do."

"That is not a simple achievement, so you might as well be happy now. You have done a great thing. On behalf of all the fighters who participated in this battle, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude."

"Okay..." The doctor looked at the can given by Alpha in his hand, and finally gave up the idea of ​​opening it. A deep feeling told him that if he wanted to have a good sleep later, he should not drink this bottle of drink. "You have a point."

"The rest of the things are our own business, and we shouldn't bother you anymore. Lord Kelsey will keep in touch with us. She said she doesn't want you to indulge in military victory, and wants you to think more about other things. Although I don’t know what you are thinking, you can relax. This is the margin that only the winner deserves. Alpha inviting you to have a drink is a good suggestion. She knows many secrets of this land. , I believe you can find the answer you want."

81.Three questions

The doctor woke up on the big bed in the room that was his own. He sat up and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already dusk.

After the battle, when he returned to Rhode Island, it was already early morning. He had a simple breakfast and washed up. He was very tired and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. It was good to cope with the tired sleep. It didn't last too long. When I woke up before dusk, there were still a few hours before the appointment.

The doctor found a box of buckets of instant noodles in his room, so he boiled a pot of water and soaked a bucket of instant noodles to satisfy his current hunger, or he simply wanted to eat something to distract himself. force.

There are only two messages on his communication terminal from Kelsey asking him to go to the logistics department to collect clothes and daily necessities. There are no other tasks assigned to him, and there are no other notifications.Putting down the finished bucket of instant noodles, the doctor looked outside through the porthole of his cabin.Rhodes Island was slowly marching in the desert on the border of Ursus. The yellow sand outside the window, the setting sun, a long river sunset, and the silent emptiness filled his heart. He suddenly wanted to go out for some air.

He had seen the structural diagram of the area where his cabin was located while following Amiya and had memorized it. He found the passage to the outer deck without the navigation of the prts system or anyone's help.After passing through the layers of compartments, when he stood unobstructed between the vast land and the lonely sky, for a moment, he even forgot to breathe.

"I knew you would come here to watch the sunset." The familiar voice came from the deck, and Alpha was waiting here without knowing it.

The doctor smiled and said, "Are you going to guess where I will go?"

"Just some reasonable guesses. How about it? Do you have any thoughts on this vast world?"

"If I have to say it, I always feel that I have seen more magnificent scenery than this... But I have many more questions than thanks. I don't know where I came from, and I haven't found where I am going. . Even who I am is just a pale name."

"These are some very grand propositional narratives. No one else can give you your own answers to these questions." Alpha looked at the doctor with a smile. "But you will inevitably be in the middle of the whirlpool of the times in the near future. The people around you, what you have experienced, and yourself will spur you to find the answer that belongs to you, and this period of your life A life that starts from scratch is your purest footnote."

"It sounds a little scary, but it's also a little exciting."

"Remember how you are now, Doctor, so that in the future, before your life comes to an end, you will have time to look back and judge your life."

"It sounds like I'm going to die soon."

"Hahaha..." Alpha smiled heartily again, "Okay, I won't fight you anymore, look to the future and find the true meaning of life, but you have to live in the present, right?"

"What you said makes sense, but..." The doctor looked at Alpha's thoughtful expression and felt as if she wanted to prank him.

"Let's talk about something lighter, like what kind of alpha do you want to spend the night with you."

"He is a young woman who can spend the night with you," the red-haired Alpha danced softly in high heels, stretching his figure; "He is also a good buddy who can take you home when you are drunk. ," the handsome blond young man Alpha, wearing a straight military uniform and the doctor, arm-in-arm; "Or a super cool Radiant Marcher, which can help you throw out all the hungover guys in the bar, ensuring that you There is a quiet leisure environment." A tall robot stood in front of the doctor in a posture full of throwing bricks, and gave him a thumbs up...

"You can use whatever you want..."

"The image I usually use...it seems that the doctor wants to spend the night with me."

"You do well, my body will definitely not be able to withstand your torment."

"That means you have a thief's heart but not a thief's courage. What if you don't dare because you're afraid that you won't be able to do it?"

The two chatted and laughed for a while, successfully overcoming the philosophical discussion on the meaning of life. The relaxed atmosphere and the jokes between friends narrowed the distance, allowing the doctor to naturally ask the question he had always been curious about - where did Alpha come from? Come on, what are you doing?Whether it's her attitude towards this land, or the mysterious technology she has mastered from outside the world, or even the ability to change her body shape that she just showed herself, the doctor is very curious.

"I crossed the superstring of two worlds and came here. I am a high-dimensional creature, in the literal sense. The image I show you is not myself, but my incarnation, or my A projection into the real dimension.”

"Why don't I feel surprised? It's like I think you are who you say you are."

"That's probably because the civilization you really belong to has once reached, or at least can understand, my existence."

"What do I really belong to... Do you mean the civilization I once belonged to before I entered that sarcophagus?"

"No, it's much older than that, more ancient." Alpha looked at the doctor in front of him, his eyes flashed with a deep glow, and the doctor looked at the glow, as if there were thousands of stars shining.

"I can see that your own axis has been stretching from ancient times to the present. A few moments are leaping high above cause and effect, and most of the time are sleeping peacefully. You are a person who has come to an end tens of thousands of years ago. The last descendants of our civilization, the only relics left.”

"It sounds reasonable. Is this true? Does anyone else know?"

"Kelsey knows part or all of the truth, but I don't know if she will choose to tell you." Alpha circled the doctor, "Out of respect for you and the person you belong to has disappeared in the long river of time. Out of civilized curiosity, I chose to tell you these things. Do you have any special thoughts after hearing my answer? "

"Impressions..." The doctor shook his head, "It even feels unreal. The various traces I saw on Rhode Island, as well as people's reactions to me... I must have experienced many, many things here. I I have experienced a lot of things in the long time you mentioned, and all of them have shaped who I am, and that is the answer to where I come from, isn't it?"

"That's right. I even admire your optimistic spirit."

"Otherwise, how could I survive tens of thousands of years." The doctor smiled, and he smiled confidently. "Alfa, where are you going?"

"Me, I will stay in this world for a long time, so I will walk around, meet different people, different things, maybe do some small things, maybe draw a sword to help when the road is rough. Get to know more friends, Go see more different scenery, and it’s best to push people on this land to take two steps forward.”

"You think clearly."

"That's something that took me two lifetimes to figure out."

82. A glass of wine, a dinner

Rhode Island has more than one shipboard bar and tearoom. These large or small leisure venues welcome many guests every night. Alpha is a regular customer of the "Screwcap" bar near the bridge and reactor engineering department. The atmosphere here is very relaxed. Operators who are good at bartending usually go to mix drinks for friends on their own initiative. Alpha will occasionally shake the shaker glass by himself. Seraya and Huang are both her loyal drinkers. .

There are already people shaking the shake cups today. According to the rules of Rhode Island, the bar does not provide alcoholic beverages before [-] pm. During the period from the evening to [-] pm, the bar will provide some fast food and soft drinks for the elderly. The operators who had come off work early to prepare for the night show filled their stomachs and provided some entertainment.

For the water supply at Longmen some time ago, various bars will provide Yanguo-style snacks and fast food. For example, the French fries that are usually provided are replaced with the current dry stir-fried lotus root strips because a large number of potatoes were transferred to Qicheng for disaster relief. The fried chicken nuggets were also replaced with fried fish.But everyone has a high tolerance for changes in the affordable snack menu.

Alpha ordered a glass of juice and a plate of stir-fried lotus root sticks. Feeling lonely after eating a bucket of instant noodles, the doctor ordered a piece of rotten meat noodles to fill his stomach.The bar gradually became lively. After the day's work, the engineering department staff walked into the bar and found a familiar table to sit down to brag and share today's experience with their friends.

In the past two days, because Tallulah was preparing to restart the core city, Kelsey mobilized some operators from the engineering department to provide technical support, so the screw cap seemed a little deserted tonight.

"Doctor, can you drink?"

"I don't know, but I think it's drinkable. The air here smells of spices and ethanol, and I'm not disgusted with it."

"I think you must be a Luper. You have a dog nose, but your eyes and brain are also very good."

The doctor shrugged and continued to slurp down the rotten meat noodles in the bowl. This kind of cheap fast food from Yanguo, which is simple and low-cost to make and tastes surprisingly good, is indeed more substantial than instant noodles.After one bowl, I finally felt like I had something in my stomach.

It was still two hours before the alcoholic beverages started to be served. With nothing to do, Alpha took out his data terminal and turned on the holographic projection, "Let's play a game of chess."

"Come on." Looking at the holographic chessboard and chess pieces in black and white in front of him, the doctor became interested.

The two played three games of fast chess, and the doctor won two games and lost one. This result surprised him a little.

"I thought you would make it impossible for me to win a set."

"That would take away the fun. Finding a game to kill time is not about deciding the winner, is it?"

"You're right."

The time passed quietly among the attacking chess pieces and the consumed drinks. Soon it came to nine o'clock in the evening, the time to start serving alcoholic drinks.

The person who came to shake the shaker cup today was an old acquaintance from the engineering department. Seeing that Alpha and the doctor had been waiting here for a long time, the operator smiled and invited them to come to the bar for the first drink of the day.

"Alfa, what do you want to drink today?"

Alpha magically took out a wine bottle from behind and placed it on the bar, "Holy Eagle Vodka, add ice, lime juice and ginger beer, and finally add a little love. Give me and the doctor one bottle each." share."

"I understand, Moscow Mule, but Alpha, you still haven't told me where Moscow is."

"It was a great city with a long history in some story."

The operator smiled and shrugged, "Okay, it's still the place in the story, but I guess that city must be very cold."

"That's right."

The operator followed Alpha's initial introduction and served two glasses of prepared wine in stainless steel wine glasses.The so-called adding a little more love actually means adding a little more Longmen soda. This idea was also brought up by Alpha, using a small amount of sugar and carbonic acid in the soda to provide a richer layer and taste.

"There is another name in this Moscow Mule with soda, Jack Wills, a big man who loves and always lives seriously, worthy of respect."

The doctor guessed that Moscow was the name of a city in the world where Alpha once lived, and that Jack Wills was probably a character in a story she once read.A cold city with people who love life sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

He took the frosted stainless steel wine glass and raised it, "To life."

……

The doctor's drinking capacity is not bad, and he is still just tipsy after drinking several cocktails. With the help of the alcohol, people in the bar became more friendly, and many employees from the engineering department took the initiative to come over and chat, taking this opportunity to get to know that person. The legendary Doctor of Rhode Island.However, everyone was very restrained and did not persuade or fight for drinks. They just took this opportunity to chat and talk.

The door of the bar was banged open by a careless guy. Alpha looked back and saw Huang running over smelling the smell of alcohol.

"I knew you, Alpha, were drinking here with the doctor! Kelsey is getting angry in the control center!"

"Just tell her that I brought the doctor here. How about it, Huang, I'm going to treat you. Would you like a drink?"

"Hey, it's rare for Ms. Alpha to be so generous. It's hard for me to refuse your kindness."

Then not long after, "Hey, why are there no charcoal-grilled sandworm legs today!" Huangda Meow pointed at today's menu hanging on the wall and yelled.

"Then you can't blame your defense department. They haven't brought back fresh sandworms for three days. You can't let me sell roasted Originium worms as sandworms!"

"Charcoal grilled sandworm legs...are they delicious?"

"A large terrestrial hard-shelled arthropod. It is fragrant, tender and juicy when grilled. Doctor, you will like it."

While Alpha was describing the unique flavor of charcoal-grilled sandworm legs to the doctor, an indescribable lynx scream came from the door of the bar. The familiar voice frightened the entire bar into silence. Several people were drinking and bragging. The engineers in the engineering department even had to hide under the table.

"Huang! Didn't I ask you to find the doctor to attend the meeting! Why are you drinking! And the doctor! Your body has not fully recovered yet! Do you know! Drinking is not good for you!... Wu..."
